Egypt offers visa on arrival for Indians

June 22, 2006 16:33 IST

Egypt has approved a visa on arrival scheme for Indians wishing to travel across the country.

Indian travellers could make use of the Urgent Visa at the Cairo International Airport provided they were in the country only for business or tourism, Egyptian tourist authorities were quoted by news portal allafrica.com as saying.

The visa would cost $20. Egyptian authorities hope to capitalise on India's outbound market, which was expected to grow at 15 to 20 per cent a year, the report said.

India has the fifth fastest growing tourism industry in the world, it added.
